Time Warner Cable, Regional Sports Network

El Segundo, California

Time Warner Cable recently signed a 20 year contract with the Los Angeles Lakers to distribute their basketball games and original programming across two regional sports networks—an English-language network and the nation’s first Spanish-language regional sports network. Gensler was hired for the interior design of these two new network spaces, comprising two buildings and an outdoor amenities space that connects them. Time Warner’s mission was a key driver behind the colorful and energetic design. After passing the reception area, whose floor is an authentic slab of the Staples Center basketball court, high-end lounge areas and media screens placed throughout engage visitors and connect the networks to the sport.
